2 Samuel 9-12, Psalm 51, Proverb 16:6
I was reading about some of the dark chapters in David's life. Greed, immorality, deception, even murder. With such a dark backdrop as this, Psalm 51 shines like a diamond of hope for folks like me. I've put it to music. I may record it later today and link it to the blog. I started these words years ago, but today the pieces of words, melodies and chords just fell in place.
Be gracious to me by your loving kindness
And by your great compassion blot my sin
Wash me through and through from my iniquity
For only by your grace am I forgiv'n
Against you, you only have I sinned and done what's evil
You're justified and blameless when you judge me
Lord, I was born and raised in sin
But you desire to see the truth within me
Search me O God and know my heart
Try me O Lord and know my thoughts
And see if there be
Any wicked way in me
And lead me in the way of everlasting
O God, search me
"Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for. Through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil." Pr. 16:6. Thanks be to God for his gift of love and faithfulness in Jesus' life, death and resurrection.

I sure like the look of your blog.
The internet is certainly a great
to have a great witness to many.
If you're interested, I've posted
some blog links (including yours -
hope that's alright) of others who
are doing the same...

I think it's great when people
use the internet in an evangelistic
way like you're doing.
That's what I'm trying to do
also with my blog. I try not
to look religious and my
hook is humor and yet
controversial issues are
also discussed. As long
as it's evangelical with
a Biblical Worldview
and interesting, I try
to include it.
Please pray for us -
we're often under
attack and have
been for our entire
10 year existence.
Thanks again for
what you're doing...
Your Internet Friend,
